[@sovereign_soul_2024]

i absolutely abhor aerobic, high-intensity exercise, so that's disappointing. I walk a mile every day but that hasn't seemed to help at all either. mindfulness is proving very difficult bc i never end up remembering to be mindful, even with reminder tactics. i definitely need the sound method and have been utilizing it for years.

Try out non stimulant norephinephrine and dopamine anti depressants, they take way longer to have consistent effects( usually about 2-4 weeks for general improvements, and about 2 or 3 months for the same stimulant effect) but are far milder in terms of side effects

Thank you so much.

Our Doctor prescribed Concerta but never explained about this disorder completely. He never told us about Fish oil,Zinc and Magnesium ,Iron, Vitamin D3 etc. He told us only about exercise. If one is really capable of doing it ,he need not see a Doctor at all.

[@rubytuesday8161]

You're intro lasts 2:39 minutes and sounds like one of those get rich fast commercials and then you just list the three most common tricks ever. Revolutionary!

[@FakeNews-Is-Here]

@@rubytuesday8161 To be fair...for anyone with ADHD constant reminders are needed. And, these are the most basic 3.

[@lbers238]

Yup, he did that in a bunch of videos now. Gotta install Channel Blocker again so I don't see any of his cheap content ever again.

[@BeefyEdits]

He’s actually helping me a lot. To each their own.

[@nhinged]

So you missed the information about showing exercise constantly slowly increases the baseline dopamine?

[@schpeidermann]

@@BeefyEdits Good help would actually be: get diagnosed, get medication, get therapy, understand yourself better and improve gradually. This guy just repeats just the obvious. That's just making content.

[@Mikeymoo-x3p]

yep...I'm not going to do any of that. I could barely get through the video. I always use to discourage people from taking medication. For years I tried these sort of strategies (I'm 65), took every recommended vitamin, mineral, amino acid, changed my diet (zero carbs and absolutely no processed foods or trans oils), started hiking, went to the gym consistently, did the mindfulness thing for about 2 years, I even drank only distilled water because some self proclaimed expert on KZbin said that it might be the fluoride or copper (mercury, lime blah blah blah) I'm consuming that could be the route of all my problems. Ok...I became physically a lot fitter but as far as my brain was concerned it didn't make a blind bit of difference. I'm starting to think that ADHD has fast become a revenue source for someone else. Put a video up saying you have the cure ' 3 ADHD Instant Fixes More Powerful Than Medication'... no less that 50,000 people are going to click on it aren't they? I did, you did. L-Dopa from some yellow bean is now flying off the shelves because apparently it increases your dopamine levels (I took that for months...guess what)? In the end I relented and started taking medication. It works. There's a titration period to get you on the right medication at the right levels but it's like someone has switched all the lights on and puts into perspective the ridiculousness of all these alternatives you've been trying. There's a guy called Russell Barkley PhD. He's an expert. Listen to him. No one else. Just him...and you'll know what you're doing and where you are with this. It's not just about levels of dopamine. That's a bit like saying if you put more fuel in your car it'll go faster. It won't.

[@komicalkramer6188]

I think you hit the nail on the head in terms of "views" on this channel. This guy just wants views and followers; look at his banner for his channel. What kind of person boasts about having followers and views, but wants to help people?

Medication works however has side effects for some. Higher resting heart rate, increased cortisol, increased anxiety. Long term issues with heart. Sleep issues. So idea is to take lowest possible dose while doing exercise, meditation and supplement with magnesium, and being on healthy keto diet.

[@bertvdl1178]

about the study "acute physical activity and executive function in children with ADHD" : The study found positive effects on only 2 out of 15 measured parameters They only examined acute effects immediately after the intervention. It did not assess whether any benefits persisted over time.

[@LisaWhynot-r8l]

Exercuse has Extremely important benefits, for all humans, but especiqlly so for those with ADHD.. i can vouch for that and mannny people have found that. It is undeniable. When i do 2 x week intensive exercise for 40 mins each I sleep better, wake up more fresh, get less anxious, focus better.. and various other things as well. Do keep in mind: healthy sex is also regular exercise ;) .. which has the same benefits plus more, since it releases oxytocin as well.

[@bloodypommelstudios7144]

"It did not assess whether any benefits persisted over time." Based on this I would guess the best option for ADHDers would be small bursts of exercise throughout the day since then you're not relying on the unknown of benefits persisting for extended periods. I wouldn't like to make strong conclusions based on a single study of children though. We also have to watch out for the pontzer paradox. Exercise past a certain point your brain and body will fight back by making it harder to do stuff the rest of the day to save calories. I've recently been running in to this going on 25 km hikes and I'm absolutely useless the rest of the day.

[@oakstrong1]

I cannot watch ANYTHING unless I do something else at the same time. Crochet is my fidget toy (others prefer knitting but crochet gives faster results) : even if watching the video was a waste of time, I have a beanie, mugrug, or a bit more of a blanket done. I have made 8 queen-sized blankets so far, a cat bed and several smaller projects, like beanies, fingerless gloves, scarves, snowflakes to hang up, wind spinners, pencil box covers etc. The videos/TV/films help me to stick to longer projects and the crochet helps me to stick to watching films and documentaries till the end without feeling I'm wasting my time. (I choose a simple pattern that doesn't need 100% concentration all the time: my hands can move on their own and only need a check once in a while to avoid mistakes.) They say that crafting (and I'm sure the act of singing and playing music) activates the same part of the brain that does the worrying. In other words, crafting and anxiety don't mix well! Yes, it is possible to think about negative things like bills and bank balance while running or an upsetting conversation, hill walking or knitting, but the simultaneous activity helps to dampen the emotion and allows me to look at the problem from a more neutral angle.

[@unitardization]

Just start the vid at the last 1/4 & then start again @ 1/2 & so on

[@wendyshoowaiching4161]

Because the reason is if you disturb the mind and peace of others, you planted the seed of darkness (Defilements) and you will continue to suffer greater intensity ADHD depending on the numbers you committed. Remember, there is also the rippling effect of 4x after effect. Unless you take positive action to do away one's mental direction to positively do your own business and not affect other.

[@jacobwilliamson3683]

The stuff about ANTS (Automatic Negative Thinking) made so much sense. I've always put myself down, its like my default mode is just not believing in myself.

[@conny.rapp.tattoo]

Diagnosed for 20 years today. Never experienced the rebound as "falling off a cliff". It just felt like getting a bit tired. Focus? No difference. Creativity? Almost no difference, a bit better without. What truly is noticable for me on medication (Medikinet Adult): emotional and especially anger control.

[@wwvvww573]

I guess the 'falling of a cliff' effect happens after your meds worked the way they are intended. Notice you might have additional brain-chemical deficits that stand in the way of them functioning. Not to draw the devil on the wall. Or at best maybe you're healthier then you thought you are.

[@Timelog88]

This sound almost exactly like my experience with meds, but because I feel overall less anxious and emotional, it does help with the focus. Currently on Concerta 36mg and no side effects (before I took it I was even more tired at the end of the day, often even early afternoon).

[@soirema]

[@montycora]

Wouldn't it be wonderful if ADHD was only about focus and procrastination??? I wish mine was. And I also wish ADHD influencers would stop perpetuating the stigma of medication use. You all talk about medication as this horrible trashy thing we have to do, it is not... Your methods work great for a wealthy European with a lot of time in his hands to be focusing on your thoughts. Me, I have to work, take care of my 13 pets, go to college and trying to get some sleep. Do you think people like me have time for all this? I don't have money to go to the gym and my neighbourhood is not particularly safe, so doing stuff outdoors is not exactly safe and I have no time to go on meditative walks. And ok, these methods may work for focus and productivity, but, will it stop my compulsive shopping, my binge eating? I don't think so. And the main reason I really take Ritalin for... emotional regulation, will it work on that as well? I don't think so... Without medication I buy a lot of crap I don't need, but I convince myself I can't live without, I eat until I have no food in the house, cause I literally cannot stop and I don't feel full, EVER. And without my meds, I cry for everything and the worlds seems so overwhelming to me... I would like to see an influencer teach people to outweigh the good and bad of taking medication. You have bad side effects? Ok, and how bad does it get if your ADHD is left untreated? I also suppose your ADHD is very light, you have to remember that ADHD is different to everyone and some people have more impairment than others... CLARIFYING: I am not complaining about my life OR seeking advice on how to live my life, I am just showing people how someone with commitments will have a hard time doing those methods to a degree that will have any positive effect. I am very happy with my meds, and they make most of the problems I have listed go away, that is why I have listed them, to show the positive impact medication had on my life.

[@redbepis4600]

Good answer. There is fear mongering everywhere around medication. This is certainly not helping in that regard

[@grow2behappy]

Thank you for sharing your story. I struggled for most of my adult life, so I understand, even though i don't have that many responsibilities, not even talking about the cats. I want to share this with you: I don't see ADHD as a problem, or mental illness. It's a superpower. If you embrace it and use it. Much love ❤

[@user-dc5ro5kg2i]

It's healthy to have perspective on your own ADHD experience. It isn't healthy however to base your opinions about @adhdvision on assumption. We all have our own struggles, our path to walk down. I have responsibilities as a father and husband, bills, food, mortgage etc and currently studying as a mature student. I currently take meds for my ADHD but I also look for research backed viable alternatives, particularly solutions that are free to implement such as exercise and cold water swimming. He has stated many times he took meds and decided to try something else, he did what he felt was right for him and he's now sharing his findings and experience with others. The clinical research papers are readily available for people to read online you don't have to take anyone's word at face value. I took hope for a day when we can all be meds free, maybe it will happen maybe it won't but we can remain positive, help each other and keep fighting the good fight 😊

[@user-sg8wf5qo9s]

But you don't have to be so... angry...

[@rhaineyrwc1974]

Truth! 🎉

[@kristenbassett2367]

I am one who tried all these things…. Exercise, mindfulness, supplements like fish oil, magnesium, zinc, vitamins b and d, morning routines…. And didn’t find much relief. I just recently got an official diagnosis of ADHD and started on Vyvanse. I see positive benefits and no negative side effects, not even the much-anticipated and welcomed appetite suppression 😂. So for me, for now, it’s a tool I’ll keep in my toolbox. No hate for those who try it, no hate for those who go without. You do you, I’ll do me 😊

[@alexl92]

Walking answers both - exercise and mediation for me. But yes, I realized even 3-5 min intense exercise in the morning pumps energy and allows to just be happy and start your day right. Long periods of intense exercise are tough on our bodies after 50s, esp since many of us have hypermobility issues and get hurt and recover VERY slowly from it. I used to call myself so weak, lazy and “unathletic” because I couldn’t run for an hour or do HIIT and not be hurt or sick for days. Now I just turn fast beat music on and jump or dance for 3-5 min in addition to my hour long walk. Weights are saviors for hypermobile joints since they help built muscles to protect them. Statistically 5-7 min of intense exercise has tremendous benefit for our health, after that time, the benefit plummets. Doesn’t mean if you can run for an hour, you shouldn’t. It just means 5-7 min of intense activity is just enough for an overall good health. Taking stigma of “laziness” out of exercise did wonders for me. Mindfulness is tough to understand unless you’ve meditated for a while though stepping out of our thought and feelings “reality” is almost impossible without periods of no thought or no feelings, periods of observation of thoughts and feelings to come and go and of conscious telling to yourself: just a thought, just a feeling and letting it go. Until I began learning to meditate properly, I didn’t get mindfulness at all. Like exercise for the body, meditation is a must for our minds. Start with Pema Chodron books or Jack Kornfield, if you are new, these American teachers are easier to understand to our western minds. And yah, invest in a good sound machine! Thank you for your videos, they explain so much!

[@juanmlarios]

Was a competitive road cyclist and trained 20-25 hours a week. I can tell you that although exercise does help, I was also at my peak ADHD at the time. Mindfulness is a good one but so tough to get myself to do it. It is hard to get into that state without feeling distracted and bored. I definitely see the advantage of having accountability and joining interesting activities with a community of people. Ultimately I’m trying medication now. We’ll see how it goes. I still maintain exercise and do counselling. I don’t anticipate it being the magic bullet.

[@paksx]

Thank you so much for this video! Glory to God.

[@oakstrong1]

I had an accident and cannot exercise without getting blinding migraines, and now high blood pressure. I found learning to play music gives me a similar effect, it was almost like my messy brain was tidied up for a while and anxiety became less. It was even better when I was able to do both. I'm a primary school teacher and I always encourage parents of adhd kids to take their kids to sports clubs. Not only the exercise benefits them but the controlled interaction of teamwork can help to learn the social interactions and gain acceptance, an aspect of adhd that is often ignored. The camaraderie among team members when going to competitions are the best memories of my childhood and early teen years, not the winning of medals from solo sports I also did. Those positive social interactions carried on to outside the sports and into my daily life as well and I found myself becoming gradually more popular. The same principles exist in music: solo playing is about mindfulness and dopamine and playing in an orchestra is about controlled interactions and acceptance by others.

At the start of my journey, 5 month ago, I would probably roasted you too. Now I can see clearly that the right pass is finding the right balance of meds and things you mentioned. And also foremost... accepting your adhd rolling with it and not trying to copyright ND brains works for me. Actually with meds . But for me it's not about meds or not... its about living the best life with adhd. And luckily I do. Also the noise thing for me worked pretty good at the beginning of my journey after 40 years masking my adhd as a woman completely.

I'm 55 now BUT, through a ton of research and a lot of trial and error, I've learned how to love my ADHD "quirks" as I call them and deal with the rest of the mess much better without meds....it's nice to be able to walk a straight line without falling over again! No matter where I live, I make sure that I find my "happy place". It could be a lake, an ocean, a mountain top, a city park bench, or my backyard pool. As long as I have a quiet place to escape to for some down time, I know I'll be ok. I also find music is my best friend along with walking and riding my bike.

Thanks for the organization of our traits. Some of those methods I've been using for a while, they are really helpful, helping me to figure out my location and state. They also help me to find out my purpose with a clear mind.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 4x a week is way more effective than the medications. Teaches you to stay calm, focused and how to handle anxiety when you’re under pressure and also improves self esteem and gives you a great boost of energy and life.

I put my 4 children in the class when secretly I want to do it for the challenge of a goal I can reach.

[@notgonnabetelling1469]

@5:14 "The reason why a lot of us ADHD'ers can't stay consistent is because we want to do everything all at once all the time, which makes things too overwhelming to start on." Oh My God ... This single phrase has demolished all my doubts considering whether or not I might have ADHD. I feel "SEEN"!

[@cicin9313]

I love tai chi. It isn't aerobic but I enjoy it so much that when I'm stressed I crave to do it bc I know the measured breathing will calm me.

[@loadedspud9771]

Thank you for your airplane analogy. I relate so much to that and giving them permission to land is a great visual way to manage the over thinking associated with burnout.

[@sportsmen4569]

I now.. live.. next to an Buddhist monastery while doing professional sport (bronze at European championships) And then i discovered this channel.

[@evolveordissolve9118]

I find my procrastination and attention actually are in FOCUS the LESS stimuli I’m around. When I literally lived ALONE, I mastered discipline of soul, mind, body in 7years than I have the combined time frame of living with other humans.

[@clark4suE]

You're stealing all my words. My psychologist even thought I was clever when I told him, "I'm consistently inconsistent."

[@m.dejonge5055]

My son thought he had ADHD, so I started to watch a ton of video's about it. Now I realise that I must have it as well and it's getting worse. Yesterday I realised that it's getting worse because my routine fell apart because I got il 4 years agol: long covid, injuring my back, colon cancer. Ever since my back shoots in a painfull spasm. It can take up to 6 weeks to get out of that. Then I have to start building up again. Walking, cycling and then, very carefull, exercises.. I used to do a lot of exercise, plus meditation, breathing exercises doing EFT and Tai Chi. I need quiet around me, or low noise.

[@andydelassus2734]

The brown noise short is how I was introduced to this channel 👍🏻

[@the_dreams_hashira]

The analogy of Air Traffic Controller with mindfulness was most appealing to me. I noted down everything you told and will use in my life. Thanks for this.

[@brushmasterspaintingfranchise]

brown noise is a life saver

[@Yourclosestfbifriend]

Short n straight to the point , good

[@suvikerttula4800]

I love swimming, skating and roller skating❣️

[@robertocfaguiar]

After 3 years on the Vevance, that was awesome, I started crashing for about 30 minutes and this length of time started increasing to 1, 2 and 3 hours. I could not do anything but to lay down and wait the medication take effect, my body would move. And if I had something to do, the feeling was even worse,

[@florenciarosini8479]

No puedo explicar lo comprendida y acompañada que me hacen sentir estos videos 🫶🏽🙌🏽

[@josephbutler8772]

Nice channel! Very inpiring and relatable 😁

[@br3nto]

9:42 I found listening to Flow State on Spotify while working helps shut off my brain to distractions.

[@dawnversationspodcast444]

This was beyond helpful. I can’t thank you enough!

[@robynsmith2709]

I love walking and functional training

[@cdorman11]

Spend two hours to get one hour of dopamine while you recover from a tiring workout. Sounds legit. Sounds like a great way to waste three hours. Now I'm going to spend 6 hours looking for the right brown noise.

[@boototom]

6:20 the metaphor with planes allowing to land is actually a good interpretation. The fact that pure static meditation seems impossible and ADHD people need another activity to reach mindfulness seems viable.

[@Hotelhopper]

The thundering sound of the music effect is killing me!

[@alexakalennon]

Just remember to come back to it... With working memory like a fly... Good video though. Motivating Danke

[@pandawhiteout]

Nothing is "more powerful" than medication. You can't compare it to non-medication strategies because medication has a direct and strong effect on the brain and its neurotransmitters. But the three strategies you mentioned are very sustainable and reliable without the risk of any side effects, that's the great difference.

[@matthewpiper171]

Been Sleeping With a fan next to my head since as long as i can remember. Very noice to help concentrate on sleep

[@faithlove-s8i]

I am doing Thai boxing as workout twice a week It helps me increase focus.

[@tamasgyorffy1]

yes.thanks

[@DrSpas]

Your channel should be prescribed for Adhd before medication everytime for everyone

[@nikkidickinson5918]

I struggle with background noise while I'm working - i have to have complete silence in order to be able to focus. Wish i could have music or something on, but i just end up reading the same sentence umpteen times... Exercise helps massively - badminton is great, as it's so energetic. Tennis is pretty good. Skiing too - but you don't tend to need focus then, since you're not generally working on a ski trip. 🤷🏼 Your tips are very helpful, however, and I'll try them to see what works for me. I also drink a hot mixture of adaptogens - mainly lions mane & ashgawanda - every morning, and whilst i can't say it does masses for my focus, or those background voices/ thoughts, it has done wonders for my anxiety. Feel very chilled. I'm hoping they are gradually rebuilding my brain, quietly in the background. 😂

[@AdnanKhalid-fe4te]

I feel free after medication for the first time and i feel powerful, controlled and focus. I scored 95% ADHD when doctor took my test. Many ADHD on meds have done wonders! I suggest all ADHD'ers to try different Meds and check what suits you. I am on Wellbrutin 300 a non stimulant drug. Note: First two weeks on meds were really stressing and painful for me. Things take time. Dont Given In !

[@Youknowledgetube]

Started watching, then the Listen to the end comment made me watch slightly longer then scrolled through the comments. Now looking at my toes but still weirdly listening still. You are putting refocus strategies i here the background sound is changing constantly from tranquility to a thud also your microphone level changes and becomes dramatic at points

[@AmelieVeenstra]

I agree these strategies work. The only thing is: once you turn 45-50 yrs or so, some of these work draining. I completely have to re-invent myself and I have no idea how I could do this without Elvanse ...

[@itxawanis4786]

I actually use these steps (except brown sounds) without actually learning it. I take my symptoms as some sort of power that help me in life and try to understand it and enjoy it. It helps with understanding the reason and groove of your mind. I don't know how to explain any longer because I'm a non native english but I hope you know what I mean by this! But I also find some downside tho, I tend to think less and my creativity just drop. :(

[@RaiseDennis]

You do what works for you.

[@tumbleweeduk7479]

I just watched an interview on Diary of a CEO with James Nestor the breathing expert/author who said that most people with ADHD are mouth breathers. At the age of 77 and thinking all my problems came from my MPD/DID and CPTSD I discovered that actually it is ADHD that is causing my chaotic life and procrastination and lack of motivation and I am also a very bad sleeper and mouth breather, waking several times each night with a dry mouth and needing water. I am ordering mouth tape now as that would be a great easy solution. I also just recovered from pneumonia and I bet the lifetime of not having my air filtered was the cause of that! Onwards and upwards!! Who also watching this video is a mouth breather or has Sleep Apnoea? Namaste 🙏

[@StephenBattista127]

My adderall works wonders, the problem I have is that I spend winters in Aruba and because of DEA regulations, although my prescription plan will give me up to a 6 month “vacation supply” I can not get that in my adderall, I have to have monthly visits with a psychiatrist, which not only do I have a hard time finding in Aruba , you also can not find a pharmacy that has adderall! After my first month when my adderall runs out I go into what feels like a depression.

[@DrLisa-zr2sp]

Gabor Mate' says ADHD is from childhood trauma...mine definitely is.

[@UmSamy]

I sincerely believe the same.

[@jamezdice1]

I may have the same thing and it Still haunts me

[@maroonjon4013]

May I know how that happened? i just want know what kind of trauma would cause ADHD and if something happened to me too.

[@DrLisa-zr2sp]

@@maroonjon4013 Father was an abuser in every way a person can be, mom was co-dependent. Bullied by family, teachers and other kids. I had to be aware at all times even in the middle of the night. Not safe in my family.

[@oskarolczak8585]

Research cptsd, it might be that one, or both - like here

[@RainbowPyramid]

Stayz at 2:42 PLEASE get to the point quicker. You are killing my adhd brain by delaying the actual meat of the video

[@michaelporco8692]

Thank you for you work and channel. It has all helped me.

[@adhdvision]

I got you 💙

[@lv4tmnt90]

Brown noise. I discovered a love of asmr about a year ago. It has helped me get to sleep faster. It stops intrusive negative thoughts from keeping me up till 2am.

[@Theinmy20sDiaries]

Ditto on movement. After I got diagnosed, I started running and it has been lifechanging

[@lisaschwegel3520]

I bought a mini trampoline before I even knew I had this. I love to bounce and it's got so many benefits!

[@CatDuvalNineLivesYoga]
